Lilac Learning Center is a non-public special education school network serving students with autism and related developmental disabilities. We are raising the standard for special education by delivering evidence-based instruction, fostering dignity and independence, and supporting families and educators through collaboration and compassion.

If you’re passionate about helping students find their voice — and you thrive in environments that value teamwork, innovation, and whole-child learning — we’d love to meet you.

The Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) plays a key role in improving students’ communication, independence, and quality of life. This role provides diagnostic, therapeutic, and consultative services to students with communication disorders that impact their educational performance. The SLP develops and implements individualized treatment plans focused on receptive/expressive language, articulation, fluency, voice, pragmatic/social communication, and AAC supports.

You’ll work closely with teachers, BCBAs, OTs, and families to ensure communication strategies are embedded across learning environments — so students can use their skills where they matter most.

• Conduct comprehensive communication evaluations using standardized tools and classroom observations

• Develop and monitor IEP goals aligned with student needs and educational outcomes

• Provide individual, group, consultative, and classroom-embedded SLP services

• Address speech sound production, language comprehension/expression, pragmatic/social language, fluency, voice, and AAC

• Maintain detailed progress notes, records, and IEP documentation in compliance with IDEA and Lilac standards

• Partner with teachers, BCBAs, OTs, and related service providers to integrate communication supports into instruction

• Participate in IEP meetings, family consultations, and eligibility conferences

• Coach and train classroom teams and families on communication strategies and AAC systems

• Support generalization of communication skills across environments and communication partners

• Maintain timely documentation and service delivery

• Help develop visual supports, cueing systems, and classroom tools that promote independence

• Contribute to professional development and serve as a subject-matter resource

• Perform additional duties aligned with Lilac Learning Center’s mission

• Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology or Communication Disorders from an ASHA-accredited program

• Washington State SLP license and CCC-SLP

• ESA certification or eligibility within 90 days of hire

• Pediatric or school-based experience preferred

• Strong clinical background in pediatric communication disorders and language development

• Familiarity with IDEA, FAPE, IEP development, and school-based service delivery

• Skilled in data collection, progress monitoring, and documentation

• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and coaching skills

• Ability to move throughout school and therapy environments; lift up to 50 lbs; respond to escalations safely

• Valid driver’s license & proof of insurance

• CPR/First Aid (or obtained within 90 days)

• Criminal background clearance & Livescan fingerprinting required

No two days are exactly the same — and that’s part of what makes the role meaningful. A day might include:

• Assessing a new student

• Leading direct therapy sessions

• Modeling social language facilitation in the classroom

• Training teams on AAC tools

• Writing documentation and progress notes

• Joining a collaborative IEP planning meeting

SLPs at Lilac are valued contributors — clinically, educationally, and as communicators of hope and skill for students and families.
